SAMPLE -- Sammy and the Sarge
Sarge -- Yes, sir, Joshua , sir! Ready as requested for special assignment. My orders? Thank you, sir. ‘To infiltrate the city of Jericho, assess troop position and strength and gauge civilian spirit. Can do, Joshua, sir! Ready, Sammy? Sammy? Sammy!
Sammy -- I don’t wanna go to Jericho! I really don’t wanna go. They have big soldiers there. Big, mean soldiers. Please, don’t make me go, Sarge!
Sarge -- Buckle up, Sammy. This is our chance for glory and honor!
Sammy -- I don’t want any glory. A couple of nice words would be just fine. Let’s just stay here, Sarge, please, huh? Can’t we stay here?
Sarge -- Quit being a baby. Now strap on your sword and let’s go.
Sammy -- Sword?
Sarge -- Yes, your sword.
Sammy -- I really don’t wanna go, Sarge. I really don’t wanna go. Those guys are big. They have big swords. They have big muscles. They have big teeth.
Sarge -- Sammy! Pick a good sword!
Sammy -- Okay! Sammy goes to the sword rack (which looks like a big box), reaches in and pulls out a very heavy sword. Huh!..... Think I could just carry a knife? He puts it back. Draws out a sword that grows longer and longer - he never sees the end of it before he glances back at Sarge, shrugs and puts it back in. He reaches in a third time and gets a sword that fits. AHA! He puts it in his sheath, cutting himself in the process. Owy, owy, owy, owy! Medic! Owy, owy, owy! I can’t go, Sarge, I’m wounded!
Sarge -- You’re right, Sammy. Let’s go to the Medical Tent, they’ll amputate that finger right away.
Sammy -- It’s much better now, Sarge, thanks. A band-aid will cover it just fine.
Sarge -- All right. Do I have everything? Sword, shield, helmet, food, maps. How about you, Sammy?
Sammy -- I think I have everything; Rabbit’s foot, four-leaf clover, horseshoe, Teddy bear. Ready when you are, Sarge.
Sarge -- Follow me and be quiet! They may have spies, too. Get behind this tree. See anyone?
Sammy -- Nope.
Sarge -- Open your eyes!
Sammy -- Sorry, Sarge.
Sarge -- Walk this way.
Sammy copies Sarge’s walk in a comic manner.
